Trump: The 'raw meat' predator stampeding through the midterm election jungle
President Trump's vow to end birthright citizenship caused heartburn for Republican candidates across the country and could endanger the GOP in key races with suburban voters or high immigrant populations.
For Republicans who find themselves in tight races with little time to persuade swing voters, their focus with just a week to Election Day is to hone their campaign message. That's not going to happen with Trump. Instead, the president seems intent on inserting himself as the deciding factor in the midterm elections.

****and now Trump is saying that if the Republicans don't do well at the midterms......."Americans will have a lot less money ( a prediction?? a threat??)
Anyone that disagrees or questions TRump gets the savage Twitter revenge......
Very childish.and then he says that he codes NOT c ontribute to the toxic / hostle environment that exists in the US today.
Earth to Trump..

Really??
Pelosi is now 'guaranteeing' a House of Reps majority for the Dems. Not so fast. Here is how i see it.
Mid Term Expectation
Senate - normally a forum for national, external, 'paternal', 'boundary' (exclusive) affairs. +/- 4 (47 - 54).. Likely a gain of 3.
House - normally a forum for more domestic, regional, 'maternal' (inclusive) affairs. +/- 14 (225 - 252).. Repubs could lose all of that and still retain a majority. Likely it'll be a small gain or loss, or basically the status quo.
Trump and MidTerms
Trump is an effective campaigner. He's up against Obama now who is out on the hustings with Bruce Springsteen and Jayzee. Obama is one of the all time worst Presidential campaigners in history. He lost both Houses to the Republicans in his first term and never got them back. He showed little interest in Congressional campaigns and avoided them to the extent he could. When he did go out he did so with his abstract, disconnected, articulate but disconnected style that appeared to be condescending, lecturing and, a bit 'above' his audience.
Trump's success comes from his ability to dive into the muck and wrestle around with his base. He's concrete, engaged and, anything but academic.They love him. Obama's base 'tolerated' him. Even Trump's meeting with that wild man Kanye West probably did him a lot more good than Jayzee and Springsteen are doing for the Dems. Despite the sheer stream of consciousness absurdity of West's spiel he brought up some good points that connected with young black males.
Democratic Franchise
Polls become very unreliable in turbulent, revolutionary times. The so called predictable demographic blocks of college educated women, young urban professionals, intersect with wider aspirations than those of your specific class.
The Dems have abandoned their Working Class Industrial and Agricultural Electoral franchise. They now represent Wall St. Financiers, Hedge Fund money traders, Global Trading Cartels, feminists, homosexuals, young childless urban professionals, radical antihuman eco utopianists.
And have a very tenuous and strained relationship with the urban poor (largely black or hispanic) who have been ghettoized by global free markets. They have esconsed themselves as champions of polarized economic structure that sees welfare rather than economic vigour and growth as the salvation of the nation. That is not a long term winning strategy.

I hear wiping out the Syrian rebels is off until after as Russia doesn't want to make trump look 'weak-kneed' in the face of superior weapons being on Russia's side, and will be for some time. Putin said he would shoot down a US military plane if they were directing drones. So much for drones being used, Right?

Barbra Streisand ‘Thinking About’ Moving to Canada If Democrats Don’t Win House
http://www.cnsnews.com/blog/melanie...-moving-canada-if-dems-dont-win-control-house
Streisand was asked what she would do if the Democrats don’t win the House.
“Don’t know. I’ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don’t know. I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country. It’s making me fat. I hear what he said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening. We make them with healthy flour, though — almond flour, coconut flour,” she said.
This stuff just does not get old.

Same threat as 2016, I thought Trump was going to look into stemming immigration to Canada Lol
I wonder if she will try being an irregular immigrant and walk across the border and get caught up in the new quota system

Here’s how Trump’s campaign of bigotry and xenophobia could severely backfire in a key battleground state

Do Trumps words reflect the TRUE and real America?? If they do......then THAT will be reflected on Tuesday. And the US will be exposed for what it really is to the world at large. Not that it cares.It is insulating itself into a self perpetuating state of delusional grandiosity. With massive stockpiles of WMD.
